Hi!

I would like to know if there are any plans for GnuPG to support
post-quantum cryptography schemes, specifically ML-KEM (Kyber) and
ML-DSA (Dilithium) as these will be crucial in cryptography that is
resistant to quantum computer attacks (a fast-growing threat). If such
plans exist, when can we expect to see the aforementioned support in
GnuPG?

Thanks,
